1 Simvastatin reduces caspase-3 activation and inflammatory markers induced by hypoxia-ischemia in the newborn rat. Simvastatin caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
2 In simvastatin-treated ischemic animals, the expression of these proteins and caspase-3 activity were significantly lower when compared to that of ischemic animals. Simvastatin caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
3 The results indicate that simvastatin-induced attenuation of hypoxia-ischemia brain injury in the newborn rat occurs through reduction of the inflammatory response, caspase-3 activation, and apoptotic cell death. Simvastatin caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
